Holding

The court held that the signature on the sale agreement was forged.

Facts

The plaintiff Mary Wambui Mbuchucha alleged that she bought land in Ruiru East, Block 5/202, but the defendant David Kithinji Muambi claimed to be the registered owner. The plaintiff filed a suit alleging fraud, and the court was asked to determine if the signature on the sale agreement was forged.

Issues

  1. Whether the signature on the sale agreement was forged.
  2. Whether the plaintiff received the Ksh.250,000 sale proceeds.

Reasoning

The court found that the plaintiff did not produce the original document and that the Land Control Board was not consulted to verify the transfer.

Outcome

The court dismissed the plaintiff's case.
